Norwegian Cream: Only 3 Ingredients

With only three ingredients required, Norwegian Cream is barely a recipe at all. Despite its simplicity though, the flavours are complex and delicious. It's ideal for parties and potlucks as hands-on time is minimal and you can prepare it a few hours in advance. Pair it with juicy fresh fruit and you have the perfect dessert.

Equipment

electric beaters (affiliate link) optional

Ingredients

300 ml double cream (heavy cream)
300 g natural yoghurt can use Greek yoghurt instead, but it will be thicker and slightly more calorific
50 g dark muscovado sugar can use dark brown sugar or coconut sugar

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

In a large bowl, whip the cream until you get firm peaks, but be careful not to over whip. I use electric beaters for this, but you can use a hand whisk. It just takes longer.
300 ml double cream (heavy cream)
Stir the yoghurt into the cream until it's thoroughly incorporated.
300 g natural yoghurt
Scrape the mixture into an attractive serving bowl and level the top.
Sprinkle the sugar over the top of the mix and place in the fridge for an hour, by which time the sugar should have melted. If not, pop it back in the fridge for a further thirty minutes or more. The longer you leave it, the more the sugar will dissolve.
50 g dark muscovado sugar
Serve with fresh berries, other fresh fruit or a fruit salad. It's especially good with raspberries, strawberries or juicy ripe peaches.

Notes

Serve cold from the fridge or bring it up to room temperature first. Either way it's hard to resist.
